On Thursday, April 7, Psychedelic Nightmare and I had the honor of being invited to help a group of Elmira College students do a truly unique presentation for “Daring Girls Day” as part of their Women in Society class.
The students did their homework and shared information on the history of roller derby and the current version of the sport. Then they had a little fun and broke up the class into small teams and made them choose derby names and team names. After which, me and Nightmare judged them on their creativity by choosing which team we would like to join. Throughout the class we jumped in with our perspectives as participants in the sport and how it has affected our lives, plus we got to do a few demos. And at the end we helped the class play a little sock derby! All in all, it was a VERY fun way to spend two hours and I’m pretty sure we have some new fans. So look for a band of EC students at our bouts!
And the best part?… the girls aced the assignment!
